How much does the Matsuura MAM72 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a 5-axis machining center in this class — not a quote from Matsuura. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Matsuura MAM72 page covers the MAM72 line of 5-axis machining centers as a family rather than one size, and its table lists only five figures: a BT 40 spindle taper, 11 kW (14.7 hp) of spindle power as standard, rapid traverse of 60 m/min (2,362 ipm), an A-axis speed of 50 RPM and a pallet load of 60 kg (132 lb).
Those figures describe the small end of the range. A 60 kg (132 lb) pallet load suits small parts with light fixtures, and 11 kW (14.7 hp) is half the 22 kW (30 hp) listed for the MAM72-35V. At the other end, the MAM72-100H has a 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet, 1,050 mm (41.3 in) of X travel and 30 / 37 kW (40 / 50 hp) of spindle power.
Because the line spans that range, choose a model before comparing numbers. The individual model pages give travels, spindle speeds and tool capacity that this summary table does not.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapid traverse on X, Y and Z
- A-axis speed of 50 RPM for quick repositioning between 5-axis faces
- The line runs from the MAM72-35V up to the MAM72-100H with its 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet
Limitations
- Pallet load of 60 kg (132 lb) limits part and fixture weight
- 11 kW (14.7 hp) standard spindle power, half the 22 kW (30 hp) of the MAM72-35V

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The MAM72 is a line of 5-axis machining centers, and these figures apply to the line rather than one size: BT 40 taper, 11 kW (14.7 hp) standard spindle power, 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids, a 50 RPM A-axis and a 60 kg (132 lb) pallet load. Sizes such as the MAM72-35V and MAM72-100H have their own pages.
02
The listed pallet load is 60 kg (132 lb), which covers part and fixture together. Heavier work needs a larger model; the MAM72-100H, for example, uses a 1,000 x 1,000 mm (39.4 x 39.4 in) pallet.
